Special events, festivals, and fairs have proven themselves vital pieces of our downtown & Billings economy. They attract visitors and generate tourism and workforce interest. They cultivate positive community identity and contribute to the economic health of the district.
Events are a vital piece of what we do to make Downtown Billings the preferred place to work, live and play.
